Okay, guys, it’s time for the “season finale 500”! I’ve been building up to this, and honestly, it feels a bit surreal that I’m finally here. Let’s dive into how this whole thing went down.
The Beginning
It all started with a simple idea, I decided to challenge myself. 500 somethings – it didn’t even matter what at first. Just hit that big, round number. Could be push-ups, lines of code, cups of coffee… you name it. I just wanted to see if I could stick with something long enough to reach a milestone like that.
Picking My Poison
After some back and forth (and maybe a few too many “what ifs”), I landed on doing 500 drawings. I’ve always liked to doodle, but never really pushed myself to do it consistently. This seemed like the perfect opportunity.
So, I set up my little workspace. I used my old desk and my kid’s color pens to start with it.
The Grind
The first 100 were a breeze. It was exciting, new, and I was buzzing with energy. I tried to keep things simple, but it still consumed a lot of time. I realized I needed a more streamlined approach.
- Days 1-100: Pure excitement. Felt like I could do anything.
- Days 101-250: Started to feel the burn. Doubts crept in. “Can I really do this?”
- Days 250-400: Hit a groove. Found my rhythm. Still tough, but I knew I could finish.
- Days 401-499: it’s all about that feeling of accomplishment.
The Final Stretch
Getting closer to 500, the excitement started to bubble up again. I remember doing number 490, and I suddenly felt a lot of feelings coming up, thinking, “I’m actually gonna do this.” Each step felt huge.
Then came number 500. I decided to make it a little special – nothing too crazy, a picture with all my previous styles put into it. And when I finished that last one? I felt a sense of achievement. All done!
Looking Back
Would I do it again? Maybe. It’s taught me a lot about patience, pushing through even when you don’t feel like it, and that feeling of satisfaction when you finally hit a goal you set for yourself. It’s a reminder that even the most daunting tasks can be conquered one step at a time.
So, there you have it – my “season finale 500” journey. Hope you enjoyed the ride!
